What is it about old politicians? Churchill had to be practically carried out. Trump refuses to stand down. And now we have Corbie the Crow who can't see that his day is done. Why can't he do the decent thing, withdraw and let Starmer get on with trying to win the next election?
It doesn't really matter what the rights and wrongs of the situation are. He lost the election and he stood down as leader: he should now get out of the way, let Starmer clear up his mess and then move on.
I don't suppose there are lots of people queueing up to offer him fat consultancies, so maybe he should just hunker down on his allotment. Get it ready for the spring. Dream about a bumper crop of broad beans. Or perhaps indulge himself by planning a second motorcycle trip through Eastern Europe. Maybe the Poles and Hungarians would push out the red carpet for him?
